After toying around with some of GNOME 3's new features, I've started 
using dynamic desktops to organise my work a lot more. One thing I've 
noticed, and I was wondering if anyone could confirm it, is that when 
switching between windows on different desktops, sometimes the window 
gets flagged as URGENT but the desktop isn't switched.
For example, I have a Main workspace and a IM/Mail workspace. 
Thunderbird sits on the IM/Mail one, and when switching from urxvt 
[Main] to Thunderbird [IM/Mail], Thunderbird will flash in the window 
list on Xfce4-panel, but urxvt will keep the focus, and so I have to 
click on the icon in the panel to focus Thunderbird.
(This doesn't occur all the time, only occasionally, and if it's a 
mistake in my configuration settings I would have thought that it'd 
occur all the time.)
For the record, my window-switching bindings are:
     <keybind key="A-Tab">
       <action name="NextWindow">
         <bar>no</bar>
         <dialog>yes</dialog>
         <raise>no</raise>
       </action>
     </keybind>
     <keybind key="A-S-Tab">
       <action name="PreviousWindow">
         <bar>no</bar>
         <dialog>yes</dialog>
         <raise>no</raise>
       </action>
     </keybind>
     <keybind key="W-Tab">
       <action name="NextWindow">
         <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops>
         <bar>no</bar>
         <dialog>yes</dialog>
       </action>
     </keybind>
     <keybind key="W-S-Tab">
       <action name="PreviousWindow">
         <allDesktops>yes</allDesktops>
         <bar>no</bar>
         <dialog>yes</dialog>
       </action>
     </keybind>
